Model 8730L Series D06429976 Revision 06 UTC AEROSPACE SYSTEMS PROPRIETARY SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTION ON THE TITLE OR COVER PAGE. U.S. Export Classification: EAR: 7E994 There are five defined model configurations of the AID, each supporting different wireless needs. Model configuration is accomplished during factory build through the installation radio module internal to the AID enclosure. NOTE: The radios are not accessible and should not be removed by the User. Table 2: Model Configurations Manufacturer Model Wireless Communications Radio Module UTC Aerospace Systems 8730L1-1 No Wireless (Base model) None UTC Aerospace Systems 8730L1-2 Cellular (LTE in North America; 2G/3G elsewhere) Sierra Wireless MC7354 UTC Aerospace Systems 8730L1-3 Cellular (LTE in Europe, Middle East, Africa; 2G/3G elsewhere) Sierra Wireless MC7304 UTC Aerospace Systems 8730L1-4 Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n) Advantech EWM-W158F UTC Aerospace Systems 8730L1-5 Cellular (LTE in North America and EMEA) and Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) Sierra Wireless MC7455 and SparkLAN WUBA-171GN A SIM card can be installed or removed through the Access Cover on the back of the AID. The AID has the capability to allow the user to install a CFast card; a solid-state non-volatile data storage device. The CFast card is a separate LRU (not part of the standard AID configuration) and is accessible through the Access Cover on the back of the AID for easy removal or insertion. CFast model number 8732D1-1 is available from UTC Aerospace Systems and has been qualified to operate within the AID operating environment. NOTE: The CFast and SIM card are not considered to be hot-pluggable. Ensure the AID is powered off prior to inserting or removing these devices from the AID. NOTE: If the Access Cover on the back of the AID is removed for any reason, reinstall the cover prior to using the AID in its intended function. 2.2 Mechanical Interfaces The AID provides mounting provisions (or holes) on the sides of the unit as shown in Figure 1. The 8730L AID is mounted in the aircraft as a fixed device; it is not movable by the user. The mounting provisions are designed to interface with a simple U-bracket mounting provision with holes for screws or captive fasteners on the two sides. Two L-brackets are another potentially simple solution, one on each side. The AID is cooled by natural convection and by conduction through the mounting provisions. Sufficient clearance must be provided to permit air flow in the installation. The installation should also be designed to provide a path for heat to flow through the mounting bracket into the structure. 2.3 Electrical Interfaces The AID electrical interfaces are made through one 37-pin D-sub pins, (J1), one 37-pin D-sub socket, (J2), and one 50-pin D-sub pins (J3). The Wi-Fi antenna cable connection and the cellular antenna cable connections are made with SMA connectors.

Model 8730L Series D06429976 Revision 06 UTC AEROSPACE SYSTEMS PROPRIETARY SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTION ON THE TITLE OR COVER PAGE. U.S. Export Classification: EAR: 7E994 The AID provides a chassis ground electrical bonding path through a metal surface contact around its mounting holes. In addition, the AID bonds its connector shells to local chassis ground and provides a chassis ground pin in connector J1. One or more of these points should be connected to the aircraft chassis ground through a low impedance connection path. 2.4 Power Requirements The AID requires 28 VDC aircraft power as defined in Table 3. Circuit breakers should be chosen based on max current as shown. Table 3: Power Supply Power Characteristic Value Voltage +28 VDC nominal (18 VDC – 32.2 VDC range) Current (typical) 0.71A @ 28VDC Current (max continuous) 0.9A @ 28VDC Inrush Current (max) 6A @ 28VDC (<100ms) Power Consumption (typical idle) 20W Power Consumption (max continuous) 25W 2.5 Wireless Antenna Recommendations Attached cellular antennas should be Laird part number DBA6927C1-xxxxx. Alternate antennas with similar performance may be suitable. Gain should not exceed 0.5 dBi at 698-960 MHz and 2.2 dBi at 1710-2700 MHz. Cellular antennas must be connected through a coaxial cable of at least 20cm length. It is recommended that the coaxial cable attenuation characteristic is similar or better than Times Microwave Systems Maxgain-200. Attached Wi-Fi antenna should be Laird part number MAF94271. Alternate antennas with similar performance may be suitable. Gain should not exceed 2.1 dBi at 2.45 GHz, 2.4 dBi at 4.9 GHz, 2.6 dBi at 5.25 GHz, and 3.4 dBi at 5.875 GHz. The Wi-Fi antenna can be placed directly on the AID, but remote locations through a high performance coaxial cable may offer improved performance depending on location. Maxgain-200 or better cabling is recommended. Guidelines for placement of the antennas:  Antennas should be located in an area with apertures to allow transmission – that is, not a fully enclosed metal structure.  Maximizing spatial and orthogonal diversity is desired. Locate the antennas not near one another and rotated 90° relative to one another.  Strive for at least 1 foot away from metal structure.  If a mounting bracket is used to retain the radiating element portion of the antenna(s), it should be non-metallic and RF-transparent. Avoid carbon based dyes or paint that can hinder RF transmission.  Install antennas in a location where 20 cm is normally maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structures and the body of nearby persons.

U.S. Export Classification: EAR: 7E994 3.2 DO-254 and DO-178C The AID is developed in accordance with Design Assurance Level E per RTCA/DO-254 and DO-178C. 3.3 Wireless Regulatory Compliance And Industry Certification The AID has the following regulatory and industry approvals. 3.3.1 FCC This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Consult the SCD 8730L1 for model-specific FCC ID numbers. 3.3.2 Industry Canada This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante. Consult the SCD 8730L1 for model-specific IC ID numbers.
